    My perfectionism literally ruined my school years to a point it got so bad I couldn't complete any projects and it would make me spiral horribly because then that 100% became 94% to 73% to barely breaking 50% it's so hard to get over it feels like if I couldn't do it perfectly I couldn't finish it at all or turn in something I didn't think was good. They said something is better than nothing but my brain and feelings could NOT justify that at all, it made me so physically sick :/

      @@brandyjacob5926 it's overexhausting yourself to the point of burning out. A simple 1 minute task becomes a 4 hour task because you want it to be perfect in every way. Eventually it gets tiring spending so much energy doing simple things that you start to work less effectively which just worsens things. it's ironic

      I relate so strongly. It prevented me from doing some fun things as well, like I always wanted to draw comics but I felt like they never looked as good as I wanted so I could never finish any. It was also so irritating looking at your old works when everyone praised them to the moon but it helped nothing because you only saw the faults. It nearly felt like everyone was lying just to be nice to you.

    Iv taken this mentality with my digital art. in the past, id spend hours trying to get what I was making to look exactly like it did in my head, and it never turned out looking good. I did this for 3 years. then eventually threw my hands up in frustration as said "f*ck it!" stopped trying to make it look "perfect" and not only am I happier with my art, but I feel like my skills are improving much faster then they were before.

    • @Meraxes6

      So true! As soon as I stopped caring if I made bad art, my skill level went way up. Putting pressure on myself to be perfect was restricting me and I was too scared to take risks. Not giving a fuck is freeing, and creating freely gives better results

      The perfectionist in me wants to make a correction: Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough.
      On another note, aren't perfectionists more likely to end imperfect relationships? Or rarely get into relationships with "imperfect' people who can't live up to the standards of perfect waifus?
      Agreed on needing to process the grief of an imperfect product or result in order to move forward with it.

      That depends on the expectations placed on them (whether it is by their own selves or others).
      If their "perfect life" (or social standing or whatever) requires being in a relationship, then it's likely that they'll persevere in seeking perfection within their current relationship even if they end up burning out everyone around them including themselves.
      Otherwise yeah, they may prefer throwing the relationship away and keeping on their path on their own.

    First sentence biggest truth ever, for me it worked to convince by ratiolyzing it: I wanna be as perfect as possible but I keep screwing up because of that mind set so I just have to be less perfect so I won't screw up as much. Worked out perfectly

    When I started self-monitoring my personal life like it was a job, I would rate my 'performances' of the day week out of /20. Just like school grades. The thing is, you can never reach 20. Or maybe on some exceptional, once-a-month occasion. It's not the same as in school, because there getting 15/20 makes you feel comfortably above average, as you compare with others. But when you're alone, it just feels like you're 5 points short of your goal. Doesn't matter that much either if you 'just compare to yourself', because THE GOAL is set by yourself, for yourself. So it actually makes you feel like you're failing yourself. Even though you may improve.
    -> so eventually what I did was switch to rating myself out of /10.
    LEAVING THE POSSIBILITY TO OVER-PERFORM !!!

    I’m a pianist and for musicians it’s really common to struggle with perfectionism at some point or another our lifes.
    The thing that helped me let go of trying to be ‘perfect’ is to understand that I will always be improving all my life. There is no such thing as ‘perfect’, even artists and musicians like Leonardo Da Vinci or Beethoven thought they could always improve and be better.
    So, in the end I think what matters is the journey, to be happy and content with every little improvement we make, it’s one small step towards achieving our goals. I’m thankful for every little progress I make no matter how small it is, even if it’s just realizing I’ve been doing something wrong.

    Idk. I'm working in therapy on letting everything go for 9 years. And with respect to perfection i've became much much worse, I can't concentrate much on one task, I have worse memory, my working skills are much much worse than before, since I'm working much much less than before. I'm much far from perfection or a good specialist than I've ever been in 9 years.
